- <3 sponsorblock
- This is included in the modded Android YouTube app ReVanced: https://revanced.app/
  That's the official site with links to their github and socials, beware of the many fake sites with similar URLs.
  
  I recommend Tubular (a fork of NewPipe + SponsorBlock) which is available in FDroid https://f-droid.org/packages/org.polymorphicshade.tubular/
  
  I switched back from Tubular to PipePipe, because the later one seems to be developed way faster and with more people. You may want to have a look at PipePipe. Exporting your settings in one and importing it in the other one works just fine
  
  Any advantages over, say, PipePipe, or Newpipe+Sponsorblock?
  
  Havent tried PipePipe but Tubular is just the new name of the old and deprecated NewPipe x Sponsorblock made by the same dev.
- Fuck yeah, SponsorBlock! 🤘
- I love the statistics it gives you
- Does this fast forward past ad reads in YouTube videos?
  
  Basically. It's community driven, so people have to mark sections of the video as an ad, or filler, or whatever else it may be. Then you can set it up to skip particular sections, mute during them, or other things.
  It makes it really easy to mark segments too, so while new or unpopular videos may not be marked when you watch them, it's easy for you to add the marks for others who see it.
  
  I wish they could find a better solution because some people have terrible editing skills. I've seen far too many videos where dialog like "but first, a word from our sponsor" and "now back to the video" is still left in before/after the skip. The edit should be seamless, as if the sponsored segment was never there to begin with.
  That said, it's still better than no SponsorBlock at all.
  
  you can do it yourself and also rate existing ones.
  
  I do but it gets tiring. I have ADHD so I get burnt out easily.
  
  Yes
  
  yes!
